22 Thursday, 27 August 2009 London Lite Twee palace plan snub for Prince Charles LiLoraided byherown lookalike... by kevin widdop PRINCE CHARLES has suffered an embarrassing defeat after plans for a twee addition to Kensington Palace were rejected by councillors. Kensington and Chelseas planning committee refused to allow designs for an ornate new entrance, part of a 12m redesign by one of the princes favourite architects. Charles is believed to have taken an enthusiastic role in overseeing the plans for the palace -- once home to Diana, Princess of Wales. He was accused yet again of interfering in democratic deci- sions after his charity, the Princes Foundation For The Built Environment, wrote to planners urging them to approve John Simpsons designs. But councillors insisted a controversial Regency- style loggia had to be removed from plans before approving the application last night. The rest of the scheme, including the crea- tion of a new caf and shop, substantial re-landscaping and major excavations, can go ahead. Jack Pringle, former president of the Royal Institute of British Architects welcomed the decision and accused Prince Charles of pimping his palace with a puffed-up porch. He said: Kensington Palace is a dignified building. This high-classical carport would be totally out of keeping. Kensington councils design champion, Daniel Moylan, said the loggia was over- elaborate and almost embarrassingly twee.
